Planning Division: The request is in the Chenal Planning District. The Land Use
Plan shows Residential Low Density (RL) for the requested area. The Residential
Low Density (RL) category provides for single family homes at densities not to
exceed 6 dwelling units per acre. Such residential development is typically
characterized by conventional single family homes, but may also include patio or
garden homes and cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than
6 units per acre. The application is to rezone from C-3 (General Commercial
District) to R-2 (Single Family District) allowing for the future development of this
land for single-family houses.
Surrounding the application area, the Land Use Plan shows Commercial (C) to the
south of the site. Residential Low Density (RL) is shown to the north and west of
the site, with Park/Open Space (PKIOS) shown beyond that to the south. Office

shown to the northeast. The Commercial (C) category includes a broad range of
retail and wholesale sales of products, personal and professional services, and
general business activities. Commercial activities vary in type and scale,
depending on the trade area that they serve. The land is zoned C-3, General
Commercial District and is mostly undeveloped. The Residential Low Density (RL)
category provides for single family homes at densities not to exceed 6 dwelling
units per acre. Such residential development is typically characterized by
conventional single family homes, but may also include patio or garden homes and
cluster homes, provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre. The
Residential land adjacent to the site is undeveloped, with a single-family
subdivision future to the west. The Park/Open Space (PK/OS) category includes
all public parks, recreation facilities, greenbelts, flood plains, and other designated
open space and recreational land. This area is floodplain/floodway of Rock Creek.

financial, medical) as well as general offices which support more basic economic
activities. The area shown for Office has an office building (former location of Bank
OZK headquarters). The Residential High Density (RH) category accommodates
residential development of more than twelve (12) dwelling units per acre. This site
